Edmonton “Oilers” striker Leon Draizaitl has been recognized as the brightest star of the National Hockey League (NHL) last week, the organizers of the tournament inform. Toronto’s Maple Leafs goalkeeper Jack Campbell was named second star of the week, while Anaheim’s Ducks goalkeeper John Gibson was named third star.
Draizaitls scored at least three points each in all three games last week. In a match against Seattle’s Kraken, in which the Oilers won 5: 2, Draizaitl scored four points. In the games against Nashville’s Predators and New York’s Rangers, which he won 5: 2 and 6: 5, respectively, he scored three points each.
In the first ten matches of the season, Draizaitls has scored 23 scoring points, scoring ten goals and returning 13 assists, and is currently the NHL’s top scorer. In second place with 22 points is Connor McDavid. Camels, who won all three games last week, conceded an average of 0.99 puck in the game and bounced off 96.8%. Last week, in three games, he repelled 92 of the 95 shots fired by his opponents.
Ducks goalkeeper Gibson defended the team’s goal last week in two games in which they won. In two matches, he repelled 62 of the 63 opponents’ shots, accumulating 98.4%.
